Help Martelly be an Outstanding Haiti President

Here's what I posted to my Facebook Wall regarding my hopes for what the newly elected leadership will try to tackle first:

We have been watching what's going on in Haiti for many months with great dismay.

There's a serious lack of cooperation between the many groups, and I lay most of the blame for that on the UN. President Martelly has the authority to bring together the people with the different solutions, to hammer out what will be done in cooperation, and then ask Parliament to make legal whatever needs to be done.

The Diaspora is fragmented into a million voices, singing similar songs, but disunited over hundreds of formal organizations and thousands of social network interest groups.

The fragmentation is getting worse, not better.

The 2011 Hurricane Season will be as bad as 2010, because La Nina slow to dissipate, and where are the cyclone shelters to replace what was demolished in the earthquake.

There are many challenges which were an emergency over a year ago, but we are not seeing movement towards resolution.

No one person can do it all. The President needs a czars or deputy ministers to focus on each of several critical areas: rubble; land ownership documentation; cholera; orphan children; protect women from rape; judiciary accessible by everyone; fix CEP; humanitarian goods cross border in days instead of months to get thru customs; lots of areas, not all are quick fixes.

I have also shared much of my research notes here: haiti.prizm.org/
